  Just seeing those pictures from Phil and Marek, prompts me to ask, what about some murals round Dover, copied from original photographs, and as shown by Phil in Guernsey. Then and now books are always popular, so why not murals of Dover past? I see similar ideas have already been suggested.

  Well with the help of the excellent artists of the White Cliffs Creative Guild the London Road Community Forum arranged for this mural to be set up outside the Charlton Centre last June. It's a case of finding willing persons with the talent, materials, time and the property owners permission. If done well murals can look very attractive.
  
  I quite like the new Dover Pride organised display in the old indoor market at Bench street as it consists of arty depictions of the castle in different mediums. Much nicer than the previously obscure images balls of wool and grannies knitting.
  
  I'd certainly welcome historical murals too - if anyone is willing to do them!

  I have asked Dover Pride what the plan is ongoing for the Indoor Market - would be interesting to have some historic pictures in there.
  Been nice knowing you :)

  I would think that your "Then and Now" photos would be a great idea Paul; they would show how Dover has changed - hmmm, maybe not such a good idea !

  Maybe one of the big paint companies would sponsor it? Good publicity for them as well.
